Occurrence and distribution of UV-filters and other anthropogenic contaminants in coastal surface water, sediment, and coral tissue from Hawaii
The occurrence of UV-filters in the environment has raised concerns over potentially
adverse impacts on corals. In this study, the concentrations of 13 UV-filters and 11 hormones …
